Скачать или смотреть The Only German U-Boat Captured By America - U-505 Story

Discover the most daring naval capture of WWII. June 4, 1944: A German U-boat surfaces after a depth charge attack. Standard procedure: sink it. Captain Daniel Gallery has a different idea: capture it. He orders something that hasn't been done in 130 years: "Away all boarding parties!" Eight sailors row toward the enemy submarine while German crew abandons ship. They have maybe 5 minutes before U-505 sinks from scuttling valves that are flooding the boat. They board, race down the hatch, and desperately search for valves to close. They succeed. U-505 becomes the only German submarine captured by American forces in WWII—delivering codebooks, Enigma machines, and intelligence that helped win the Battle of the Atlantic. Today, you can tour U-505 in Chicago and walk through history.
